Map Suite Routing All Samples
Map Suite Routing Desktop Edition How Do I Samples
The Map Suite Routing “How Do I?” solution offers a series of useful how-to examples for using the Map Suite Routing extension. The bundled solution comes with a small set of routable street data from Austin, TX and demonstrates simple routing, avoiding specific areas, getting turn-by-turn directions, optimizing for the Traveling Salesman Problem, and much more. Full source code is included in both C# and VB.NET languages; simply select your preferred language to download the associated solution.
Please note that you will need an evaluation (or full version) of both Map Suite Routing and Map Suite Desktop Edition to build and run these samples.

POI on Route
In today’s project, we are looking at the Routing extension of Map Suite. As a reinforcement of what we learned in the samples of “How Do I”, we show how to find the shortest route between the start and the end point. In addition to that, we show how to use the MultiLineShape from the result of the GetRoute function to do a spatial query to get the points of interests (POI) on the route.
For this sample, you would need a reference of either the full or evaluation of MapSuiteCore.dll and MapSuiteRouting.dll.
POI on route(Advanced)
In the project “POI on route”, we learned how to get the points of interests (POI) on the route within a certain buffer distance. In today’s project, we are going to go a step further and we show the technique for finding the POIs according to what side of the route they are located. For example, in the delivery industry, it is far more efficient to deliver to stops on the right side of the road when driving on the right side of the road.
Routing Tolerance
In today’s project, we will see how to better leverage the GetRoute function of the RoutingEngine by doing some spatial query. The GetRoute function allows you to pass two PointShapes for the start and end points of the route to build. If a PointShape is not on a line segment of the routable street data, the closet point on the closest segment will be used regardless of how far the PointShape is. Using the Spatial Query function, GetFeaturesWithinDistanceOf, we check if the PointShapes passed as start and end points are within some tolerance before proceeding with building the route.
For this project, you will need MapSuiteCore.dll and MapSuiteRouting.dll references.
Routing with Projections
From a Discussion Forum request, in today’s project we show how to perform routing in one projection and display the result in another. You may be in the situation where you have your routable street data in State Plane meters and you have your base map in Geodetic (decimal degrees). This project shows you how to handle this case.
One Way Street Builder
In the sample apps “How Do I” of the Routing product, we have a sample that shows how the route is constructed on a one way street. Today’s project is meant to complement by showing how to set selected streets to be one way and in the desired direction. From this sample, you can create your own utility to handle your data for routing purposes.
Routing Index Generator
The Map Suite Routing Index Generator is a utility that will allow you to generate routing index files (“.rtg” and “.rtx”) from ESRI shapefiles and .sqlite databases. These routing index files will be used by the Map Suite Routing Extension in order to calculate routes and driving directions. This utility allows you to specify things that one-way road information, as well as configuring the road speed and type of routes you would like to calculate. It is easily extendable to allow you to add code to deal with other routing situations. This version of the RoutingIndexGenerator requires v9.0.515.0 or higher of both MapSuiteCore.dll and SQLiteExtension.dll.
Traveling Salesman Problem
In today’s project, we are seeing a variant of the sample “Traveling Salesman Problem” of the “How Do I” samples of the Routing product. At the request of a Discussion Forum user, we added a new API to the GetRouteViaVisitStops function where now you can have distinct start and end points. For being able to run this app, you will need the version 3.1.427.0 or later.
